I'm not sure why you would want to "&&" a bind result. I'm not exactly
sure what it returns, something pretty close to boost::function, I
would imagine, not a bool. Generally bind is useful for "callable
things"; functions, functors (function objects), and so on.

Share more of the context what it is you are actually doing here. This
sounds more like a promise/futures, potentially, than a bound
function.
